Some of these features and benefits might include inclusion in advertising, product sampling, banner display and more. After you have given a brief overview of the opportunity close the letter by asking their permission to send them a more detailed presentation.

An overview of what type of public relations and media support you expect to have and how the sponsor will be included 4. Your audience and demographic profile 5.
